Discussion: Developing a Culture of Evidence-Based Practice

As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.
In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP.

o This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.

• Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.

TED Talk

LISTED TO THE TED TALK ON THE WEB ADDRESS PROVIDED BELOW AND ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS.
You will need to listen to the TED Talk before completing the discussion topic post.

https://www.ted.com/talks/benjamin_zander_the_transformative_power_of_classical_music (Links to an external site.)

Prior to listening to the TED Talk, on a scale of 0 – 10, rate your perception of/love for “classical music”. Using the scale, a score of 0 – 3 would likely indicate that you rarely listen to it and believe you hate it. A score of 4 – 6 would likely indicate that at times you have been exposed to it and did not dislike it. However, if you had to choose the type of music to listen to, classical would not be the choice. A score of 7 – 8 would likely indicate that you enjoy classical music for relaxation purposes and choose to listen to it on occasion. A score of 9 -10 would indicate you love and enjoy listening to classical music most of the time.

What is your score prior to listening to the TED talk?
What is your score after listening to the TED talk?

After participating in the exercise he asked you to do (remember a loved one who is no longer with you), do you believe when you hear classical music you will think of it in a different manner now?

What do you think the message was from the presenter in regards to leadership to the audience of business leaders?
Do you think you were changed or transformed in regards to classical music and/or leadership?
